Florists are hard at work for the busiest day of the year: Valentine's Day 

Many shoppers have plans to use the holiday - and their wallets - to show how much their loved ones mean to them.

<p>REQUEST FOR COMMENT. KELSEY COPY WRAL, NEWS LIVE AT RDU. &gt;&gt; IT'S ONE OF THE BUSIEST DAYS OF THE YEAR FOR FLORISTS. THEY ARE UP THIS MORNING GETTING ARRANGEMENTS READY FOR PEOPLE TO HELP CELEBRATE VALENTINE'S DAY WRAL'S. LAURA LEVINE IS INSIDE FALLON'S FLOWERS IN RALEIGH THIS MORNING AND LAURA, YOU'RE SAYING THEY'RE EXPECTING TO SELL OUT TODAY. LOVE IS IN THE AREA HERE AT FALLON'S FLOWERS. THEY'RE EXPECTING TO SERVICE ABOUT 1200 CUSTOMERS TODAY. YESTERDAY THEY HELPED ABOUT 1000. SO, YES, IF YOU HAVEN'T RECEIVED AND PICKED UP. &gt;&gt; THOSE FLOWERS YET YOU BETTER GET TO IT. NOW MANY SHOPPERS HAVE PLANS TO USE THE HOLIDAY AND THEIR WALLETS TO SHOW HOW MUCH THEY'RE LOVED ONES MEAN TO THEM. THE NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION ESTIMATES AMERICANS WILL SPEND ABOUT 25.8 BILLION DOLLARS ON THE HOLIDAY THIS YEAR. JUST A TICK DOWN FROM 25.9 BILLION LAST YEAR. A VALENTINE'S DAY SPENDING PEAKED AT 27.4 BILLION BACK IN 2020. THE NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION FOUND 53% OF CONSUMERS INTEND TO TAKE PART IN THE VALENTINE'S DAY FESTIVITIES AND OF THOSE CELEBRATING ABOUT 86% SAID THEY WILL USE THEIR MONEY ON GIFTS FOR SIGNIFICANT OTHERS. HOWEVER, A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CONSUMERS WILL OPEN UP THEIR WALLETS FOR PEOPLE OTHER THAN THEIR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, LIKE FAMILY MEMBERS AT AROUND 56%. I SPOKE WITH THE GENERAL MANAGER HERE AT FALLON'S FLOWERS WHO SAYS THEY HAVE SUCH A GREAT VARIETY OF ARRANGEMENTS PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE FROM. CHASE FROM A LOT OF DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS. EVERYTHING FROM, YOU KNOW, $20 TO. &gt;&gt; $1000. SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE HERE DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THEY HOW MUCH THEIR VALENTINE MEANS THEM HOW BIG A TROUBLE THERE AND WE CAN HELP THEM. &gt;&gt; AND ASIDE FROM PEOPLE COMING IN TODAY TO PICKUP ORDERS OR TO PICK UP FLOWERS, THEY ALSO HAVE ABOUT 40 DELIVERY DRIVERS ON HAND. WE SAW THEM LOADING UP THE TRUCKS AND STARTING TO ROLL OUT AT 6.30 THIS MORNING. I DID ASK MISTER KHAN PC IF HE HAD ANY CONCERN ABOUT THE STRIKES TODAY WITH OTHER COMPANIES WORKING WITH HIM SUCH AS DOORDASH. AND HE SAID THAT THEY WILL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN THEY GET THERE. HOWEVER, THEY FEEL PREPARED. LAURA</p>
